Here we are, the final week of the regular season. Remind me never to bet against the Bucs again (could the Saints be tanking it at a worse time?) It’s down to the wire now, and teams are either playing for their playoff lives (Pittsburgh, New York Giants), positioning (Cincy, New England, Dallas, [...]
Now we’re getting into the meaty bowl games, all leading up to the big finish of Texas vs. Alabama. Let’s take a look at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, and, of course, the Texas Bowl on New Year’s Eve (go Mizzou!)
The Emerald Bowl on Dec. 26 brings us Boston College at No. 24 USC. USC is a 7.5-point favorite going into this one. I’m personally not sold on the prospect of this being a close game, either. The money line is -300 USC, +250 Boston College, which should tell you almost all [...]

One of the first bowl games coming up this Saturday is the New Mexico Bowl – Wyoming at Fresno State, with Fresno State an 11.5-point favorite. I can understand if you don’t know much about this pair, as neither of them lit it up this year, but here’s the deal. Wyoming was a [...]
Anybody else starting to get excited about two undefeated teams meeting in the Super Bowl? If I had to bet on only one of them making it unharmed, it’d have to be the silver and gold at this point. They looked unbeatable, and that was without Reggie Bush. If there’s any year [...]
Before we get to the main event, aka the only football game in the universe this weekend, let’s quickly recap the ongoing twists and turns of this season that continued last week. Alabama had it’s hands full – surprisingly – with Auburn. Man, if they can’t even beat them by double digits… [...]
